Summary:

Based largely on four decades of his own research, Ben-Naim (physical chemistry, Hebrew U. of Jerusalem, Israel) explains the unusual properties of pure liquid water and simple aqueous solutions. An understanding of these properties, he holds, is essential to understanding the role of water in biological systems. After a survey of the main properties of water, Ben Naim lays out the theories that have contributed to current scientific understandings of liquid water. Successive chapters first discuss extremely dilute aqueous solutions of simple solutes, and then pairwise correlations between two solutes in slightly more concentrated solutions.
